23 You have sent your servants
    to insult the Lord God.
You have said, ‘I have taken all my chariots
    and I have gone up high mountains,
    the highest mountains in Lebanon.
I have cut down its tall cedar trees,
    and I have cut down its best pine trees.
I went up to its highest places,
    and I went far into its forests.
24 I dug wells in other countries,
    and they gave me water to drink.
My army marched through all the rivers in Egypt,
    and the rivers became dry.’

I decided that you would destroy strong cities
    so that they became heaps of stones.
